“Don’t dare to dream on something if you wouldn’t do anything to make it true ..”There was once a child who was born on the midnight of the sixth day of the ninth month, 1993, when all were sleeping abound with their sweet dreams and nightmares. According to his mother, he was so cute the first time she saw her baby. With his little eyes, pointed nose, and fair complexion, others might say he was born ‘with gold spoon’ on his mouth. They were wrong..

Actually, this boy came from not so fortunate family. His father didn’t had a chance to enter secondary education, while his mother was a college undergraduate. Despite those circumstances, they loved and raised this little boy with all they have. They took good care of this child. In return, this boy never failed to give happiness in the family, especially in his loving parents. With his version of ‘bintana’ as ‘dungaw’ and ‘hagdanan’ as ‘hulog’ when he was four years old, he always give them a loud laughs after a big smile on his innocence on that things. In this boy’s perspective, all set before him have no problem. Until one day, everything was changed...

To make the story short, his parents were always in a situation where in they ended with a mess. They always fighting on nonsense matters, and shouting at each other. He was six years old then when he remembered that his parents ended-up separated. His mother went to Taiwan to sustain the little boy’s life together with his little brother. Yes. He was given a brother before his parents got separated. So much for that, the two boys were left on their lola..

Back to the little boy, who was the main topic of this story, dreamed of a wonderful and peaceful life together with his loved ones. He was a grade 3 pupil then when his parents fixed their relationship for the sake of their two kids. He felt so happy that time. He never complained despite all his hardwork only to give his parents a pride to be proud of.

...before ever hitting the ground? Well, this is considered to be a “Falling Dream”. Ironically, falling dreams usually occur when you are drifting off to sleep. However, they interpret a different meaning. “Falling” can mean that you feel you are losing your grip, or you are self-conscious, or simply have fears that need to be faced. Patricia Garfield, the author of the book Creative Dreaming, states, “There’s some problem that is making you feel helpless – like you have no support.” So next time you wake up startled from a “falling dream”, ask yourself, “What upcoming events do I fear I will fail?” In my speech today, I am going to explain the fascination behind dreams. I plan to explain the reasoning as to why we dream, then talk about the interpretations of dreams and nightmares.
TRANSITION: First, let’s take a look at the scientific view behind dreams.
The National Sleep Foundation reported that eighty percent of teenagers get too little sleep. Teens normally require about nine to nine and a half hours of sleep, but they average to only seven hours a night. During sleep is typically said to be a person’s best thinking hours. Why is this? Believe it or not, dreams are a sign that your brain is working even when you are asleep. During Rapid Eye Movement, or REM, is when we dream most vividly. According to some researchers,...

...Dreams
In the Greek and Roman eras, dreams were seen in a religious context. They were believed to be direct messages from the gods or from the dead. The people of that time look to their dreams for solutions on what to do or what course of action to take. They believed dreams forewarned and predicted the future. Greek philosopher, Aristotle, believed that dreams were a result of physiological functions.Dreams were able to diagnose illness and predict onset of disease.
During the Middle Ages, dreams were seen as evil and its images were temptations from the devil. In the vulnerable sleep state, the devil was believed to fill the mind of humans with poisonous thoughts. He did his dirty work though dreams attempting to mislead us down a wrong path.
One sleep cycle consists of four stages and lasts for about 90-120 minutes. Dreams can occur in any of the four stages of sleep, but the most vivid and memorable dreams occur in the last stage of sleep. The sleep cycle repeats itself about an average of four to five times per night, but may repeat as many as seven times. So, you can see how a person has many different dreams in one night. Most people only remember dreams that occur closer toward the morning when they are about to wake up. Some people believe that they simply do not dream, when...

Dream and Its Meaning
Dream can be happy, delightful, absurd or even fearful. Dream is what we experience when we sleep; it “involves an integration of perceptual, emotional, motivational, and cognitive processes performed by various brain modules” (Passer and Ronald193). However, the content of the dream and the reason why we dream specific content still remain a mystery till today. Although many scientists have been attempting to find the answers for decades, none of them was able to do so. In this paper, I will analyze what a dream consists of and how the content of a dream relates to the real life. I developed a theory based on my own experience and conducted experiments based on it. It will begin with the description of my own dream journal, and then the citation of several famous theories. Moreover, I will apply the cited theories to my experiences to test their credibility. Lastly, I will conclude my own theory about the dream and execute an experiment to test its credibility.
To begin with the dream journal, I recorded my dream for a week from November 12th to November 19th. During that period, I had four dreams. Unfortunately, even though I tried as hard as I could, I could not remember every detail of the dream I had the night...

Abstract
This essay will pose an analysis on why people dream. According to the three theories dreams occur to protect ones sleep. Dreams occur naturally and it is a universal experience which everyone experiences during their sleep. The search ultimately leads to the conclusion that there is definitely a clear link between the process of random firing neurons, experiences, fears and the external and internal stimuli in the body.
Dreams
What are dreams? Well, dreams are the touchstones of ones character which can include any images, emotions and thoughts occurring in a person`s sleep. In today’s living world, one spends one third of their life sleeping, as sleeping is a major component in life. At some point while one is asleep they are also dreaming. Sleeping helps gain rest and refreshment from a hard day of work. Basically, dreaming is a method of ``relaxing and letting minds drift away into a distant world where one can interact with various people, places or things`` (Wilson, 2005). In reality everyone must sleep in order to survive through life. Constantly everyone goes through cycles of sleep and wakefulness where minds are active. Evidently when one is awake, they are using their minds for various actions. When one is asleep, it is not as evident how their mind is at work but to keep minds active...

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. I believe every child is born a dreamer, from the moment we enter this world our mind wanders off in every direction. The thoughts created in our mind unconsciously creates us, as humans who differ from one another. For I have dreamed on and on, gone through thousands of dreams. Yet I realized that life is not unlimited, physically as well as our mentally we are not immortal and have a certain duration of time. During this life I choose to follow my dreams, they serve as a my goals, pushing me harder everyday, each day so I may one day achieve the future I desire. Here I will share some of my arsenal of reveries.
Like most children, we grow up being praised and told how we will be the future presidents or prime minister. The point here to that success is the key. Success is different from each and every perspective. I believe that focusing on the present which would be school is most important as it builds a strong foundation for my future. Growing up in a well disciplined family, I was always successful academically, always getting As and rarely any Bs as well as receiving nine awards at last year’s award ceremony. Even will all that, it is not what satisfies me the most. What I truthfully admire is my influence towards my peers. Growing up with them I knew that their grades were not always as good, but unknowingly...

Dream
-Zombie
Last night I had a dream there was a zombie apocalypse. My mother had the cure in her blood. My dad sent my mom through this capsule that sent her somewhere safe. I had to stay behind with my brother.
Dream Interpretation
I’ve been keeping a lot to myself lately and haven’t really felt like socializing much. I have also been getting annoyed easily lately, especially by my mom. Zombies mean that you are physically and/or emotionally detached from people and situations that are currently surrounding you. Basically like I’m dead inside. I’ve been also having a hard time with school. Maybe this means I have too much on my mind that’s overwhelming me.

-Blackout
-Work
Last night I had a dream about work. I was working and suddenly all the power in the entire world failed and there was a blackout. My phone didn’t work so I couldn’t communicate with my parents. The blackout lasted about three days.
Dream Interpretation
I read an article about 12/21/12 and how there was supposed to be a blackout around the world. I remembering looking at my schedule for work and I was schedule on 12/20/12. To dream that there about a blackout shows your lack of insight and perspective on a situation. I don’t really know what that has to do with my dream but I was worried about the blackout even though...

In life, we are always told to follow our dreams, by our parents, our teachers, friends, and family. To a lot of people, my dreams seem unachievable, just aimless thoughts floating through my mind. A dream is anything you want it to be, there is no limit on what you can dream. I dream of being a doctor, having a family, playing music, and being happy. In ten years, I hope to accomplish this. I don’t know for sure how I’ll get there, but I have some pretty good ideas.First and foremost, I’d like to be a doctor. I know the only way to become a doctor is to do well in school. At my old school, I had a 3.5 GPA and I was twenty-first in my class out of one hundred sixty. I was taking College Prep Biology, a more advanced biology class that went further in depth than the...
